Knives
Mini-3muk in S35VN and azobe
2.55″ blade EDC-sized Nessmuk, a scaled down version of my 3-muk. Other instances will have the tip a bit higher.
Thanks for looking.
Guarded Hunter in S35VN and Micarta
A guarded version of my Hiker model in S35VN and linen micarta/G10.
~3.4″ blade, 4.25″ handle, 400 grit finish.
Kitchen Kwaiken/Utility in AEB-L and Walnut
First test of AEB-L and frame-handle construction.
5.25″ of 1/16″ stock AEB-L, heat finish, 4.5″ walnut and G10 frame handle. Lots of chatoyance in this wood! My new “AEB-L” stencil hadn’t arrived yet, so assembly happened first, hence the appearing/disappearing mark. The etch took off more of the heat colors than I expected, but this is just a test blade for my kitchen.
150mm Kiritsuke in 154CM and Katalox
Next in the petty kitchen series, this 150mm kiritsuke in 2.6mm-thick mill-finish 154CM, with G10 bolster and katalox handle. This version of my maker’s mark may be a little large for this piece… I just ordered smaller ones in a fresh stencil. Hardness targeted at ~61.5Rc in keeping with the style. Sharpening it was fun! Edge is ~20d on the ground face with a ~10d microbevel on the back.
